Newly installed signs warn of alligators and snakes on a closed section of beach on June 18, 2016, in Orlando, Florida, following the death of a 2-year-old boy killed by an alligator near a Walt Disney World hotel.

Firefighters at Walt Disney World were warned to stop feeding alligators at one of the resort's fire stations two months before an alligator killed a toddler.

According to emails obtained by the Orlando Sentinel, Reedy Creek Emergency Services admonished firefighters for feeding at least one of two alligators at a station less than a half-mile from Seven Seas Lagoon where 2-year-old son Lane Graves was killed after being pulled into the water by a gator.
